Sorry
|
|
I should show more grace for all I have
|
and not push hope into such a hard place to live
|
remember the vision and the light we share
|
kindness and the strength to forgive
|
myself in the shadow of angels
|
myself for all this wasted play
|
what I really meant to do for you was come clean
|
what I really meant to say
|
|
I'm sorry
|
so sorry
|
|
It comes from staying out there way too long
|
then stumbling around into your room
|
overloaded and breaking down
|
these precious things that mean the world to you
|
I'm not hateful I'm just frustrated
|
I'm not evil I'm just naked dumb
|
into the water when I first waded
|
too many times, too many times I had to turn and run
|
|
any fool can get down on his knees and pray
|
but what are you going to do boy
|
when the lines are drawn down
|
and the connections are lost
|
because you can't find your way
|
|
for all the times I did not call you
|
and even more so for the times I did
|
channeling demons despite all progress
|
writing books that no one ever read
|
out of my body down in the darkness
|
out of my mind I cannot explain
|
for riding the fence on your witness
|
for living my life somewhere down there in between
|
|
I'm sorry
|
so sorry
|
